What's going on with you 2.0?

My back is killing me. The last two days at work, I had to help with taking apart huge crates (we had 15 to do) and then today, I spent the majority of the day unpacking most of the rest of my boxes. My daughter has way too many toys.

:smt081

I'm wiped out. But I feel like baking, so I think I'm going to try my hand at baking banana bread. I've never done that before.

Bless your heart, Bookie. :smt056 I hope you get to feeling better soon.

I've got an easy banana bread recipe that doesn't require a mixer. I'd be more than happy to email it to you if you need it. :D

Moving sucks Bookie, that's why every time I consider downsizing to a smaller house I end up staying here because I start thinking about all the stuff that I'd have to dismantle and pack. No thanks.

Sounds like you need a long soak in a hot bubble bath. I'll bet IB has a bubble bath smilie, maybe she'll post it for us later. Or maybe just a good back rub from a good man? I'll bet there would be several volunteers for that job.

i normally move house every year and we have hard rubbish twice a year, so my junk is very minimal

Same here Tarshi, I try to go through everything every 6 months and take anything we aren't using or wearing to Goodwill, or if it's big stuff it goes to the Salvation Army since they'll come get it. Cuts down on the stuff gathering dust. But I am always amazed at how much useless crap we always seem to have.

 
I'm working on my comic and I have a few pages done, (done referring to
finish with the drawing process, still have to add the word bubbles and stuff.)
Do you think I should upload the pages now by adding the word bubbles and stuff and than posting immediately? Or should I wait until I got like a complete chapter before I attempt to post it for the world to see?

Well since she's a she, minimal is good. :smt081

Speaking of junk, that reminds me of a conversation that I had recently with my kid on the concept of penis envy. She scrunched up her face and said "Why would any woman want a penis? I personally am very happy that I don't have any dangling parts."

I can kinda see adoption not being the first choice on people's list if I tell people that she's my sister. That's not the problem of course. The issue was the lack of acceptance, or what appeared to be anyway, of family and kinship between two individuals just because of their race. If she was black, I'm certain the individual
would have just accepted my case on face value, but because we are of
different "race", people just can't seem to comprehend it. It slightly bothers me, but I'm more passive aggressive, it's my sister that would people have
to worry about. She has slapped quite a few men and women who couldn't
seem to understand the case so that's why I wanted to get her away
from the cashier. Otherwise, further pestering would definitely leave
a nice bruise on his face lol.

Do you think you guys might be taking it a bit too personally? Or that you two aren't putting yourself in the other person's shoes either?
I wasn't there so I can't really know about what the guy's attitude was or anyone else's in any of the other times something like this has happened.
I don't think it warrants physical violence or assault though, on your sister's part. Unless she's cool with spending time in prison over it once someone decides to press charges.
Maybe she would benefit from seeing a therapist or taking some anger management classes. It makes me wonder if something else is going on with her that she doesn't want to acknowledge. If she has an underlying reason for being so angry and aggressive about people seeming racist and unable to accept your circumstances right away and lashing out about it. If she is using that to cover up something else she feels about the two of you but doesn't think is appropriate. Like psychological projection.

LoL! It's taken me forever to convince my man to grow his hair out for that very reason. Then once he's temporarily away he finally decides to do it. :smt073

Well I don't know too much about putting myself in the other person shoes, after all we weren't the ones almost interrogating individuals regarding
their relationship with one another. If someone tells me that a group of
people are related, I just accept it. Whither it be blood, adopted, or even symbolic or surrogate. To put it in an example that should definitely make it easier to understand, a correlation would be with the BW trolls that come on this board. I'm sure originally there was very little hostility at all involved with
the posters here, but as more and more trolls that enter this board, the more
posters became agitated faster, to the point to where now a troll will probably be banned in less than 24 hours. Some individuals even appeared to be someone nice, but through the post you could still see an agenda.

Now, take that experience, multiply that by 14 years, (the amount of time me and my sister jenny has been siblings) and you can definitely see why my sister was quick to become agitated. We have done with this for the past 14 years, some MUCH more difficult experiences, people telling us we aren't related, we shouldn't be related, that I should be banging her, and all types of rude, cruel, and even vile statements. And even to this day, I really don't get to angry. I was more concern about what my sister was going to do and the movie planning on starting soon than his words. I'm a california boy, I'm laid back and chill like no tomorrow, that and I would rather let my sister unleash all hell haha.

Now in regards to her having anger issues? Definitely not, what she is, however, is extremely protective. To put it very nicely, I did not come from
a nice or safe environment with my biological parents, and if it wasn't for my sister essentially rescuing me from the last day I was with my parents, I would not be here today. It was from that day in which my sister became very protective, to many individuals somewhat overprotective but that's
because she's experience and seen everything that I went through. So if she feels someone is attempting to threaten our bond by criticizing our relationship, she becomes very protective. Heck, if many things happen she becomes very protective. My friend anthony aligns it with a mother lion protecting her cub, even though we're siblings. But I always tell her how much I appreciate it. After all, not too many people can claim they have a guardian angel big sister watching their back whenever they need it.

I think I can understand better now that you put it that way. I just hope that she doesn't get in a fight she can't win and ends up getting hurt or that she ends up getting in serious trouble. People are going to be stupid and overstep boundaries, and say things that they shouldn't, but there's not really anything anyone can do about it. It's unfortunate, but I hope that you two will be able to move on and enjoy your lives and the bond you share and don't let other people's inability to approach things the way you would approach them jeopardize your personal safety or freedom.
